"Shake!: Otis at Monterey" is a 19-minute documentary short film by D.A. Pennebaker before he was Oscar-nominated. The title already says what this is about, so no need to further elaborate on the contents. Let me just say there is some pretty good music in here. Otis switches between rock and romance, but always delivers. What made this one maybe so important is that it got recorded in June 1967, not even half a year before Otis died tragically in an airplane crash. Really sad, what a talent lost. As for his legacy, such as this little film here, we can be glad to have it. I recommend checking this one out. Reding sure know how to rock the house. You wanna see it.
